And this is where I get it. It's complicated. Money and social awareness for diversity is at an all time high. And, honestly, it should be.
But here's the other thing. I don't want Snake-Eyes to be white, because 'non-white isn't good enough,' and it certainly isn't anything against this Henry guy; how could it be? I don't know him? It's not about white people being under attack, it's not about politics. It's about the story. It's about the relationship the character has, with the fans, and with others in said story. I want Snake-Eyes to be white because, by my view, it mattered to his arc and his tale, it mattered to Storm Shadow's, with the white apprentice getting attention from his uncle as a potential heir or student. There were reasons put into the story, by Hama. Were these issues to scary for Paramount? Were these issues too big, or did they want to avoid the ridiculous Iron Fist argument? I don't know. And honestly, I don't care. I own every GI Joe media there is (minus the IDW Hamaverse post DoSE), and I won't even bother with this movie. I hope it leads to new toys. I hope it leads to new interest. I hope it leads to Snake-Eyes proper back in Hamaverse, to more comics and (accurate) cartoons. I'll follow that. But... Snake-Eyes is a white male. Storm Shadow is an Asian American male. Scarlett is a redhead female. Baroness, European. Ripcord, a redhead. Stalker, Roadblock are black. Quick Kick is Asian. Spirit is Native American. I don't like changes, for the sake of politics or false signalling. GI Joe is one of the best, most diverse stories in pop culture, today, and honest, it is so surprising to me that they got this just so wrong, by my view. |

well Henry started his training. He got a month to become a ninja. Wow just wow. Something that takes years and years to get movements right and he can do it in a month. This is sad. Hope he is a fast learner. Extremely fast

Why? We're long overdue for a new iteration of G.I. JOE.

I guess RoC is supposed to be it. I like RoC very much, but it’s clearly not classic ARAH.
